Don't pay attention to stuff like that. The best you can do is validate her feelings - "I am sorry to hear that you're feeling this way" and leave it at that.

My W did things like that and in my head I was like - you asked for this separation, and this is what that means. It's just reality starting to snap in their faces and they don't like it.
Don't let it bother you.

I didn't validate her. Next time I just didnt pay attention to it. I think a little reality is setting in.

Joe,

when I started spending less time with w and talking and texting, she started to get suspicious and I caught her snooping on me! Seems like a common response to detachment and GAL.

The disrespecting part is so rich. Suddenly they don't have access to you the way they did, and you're not moping around on the floor grovelling at their feet - that is not what they expected.

Also, now you're not around as much and so you can't be the source of all their troubles and they have to deal with that reality - which is definitely not nice because they can't blame you and because you're DBing, they can't take it out on you cuz you're not fighting or arguing with them. They will try all that and see that when you don't flinch, it's something about themselves.

I found it ironic as well. She is upset and being mad because she thinks I'm out with a woman. Her own guilt is controlling her thoughts. I never told her where I was going and with who. I'm out with my a male friend ziplinning and enjoying Austin.

This is how crazy the world is.

If my wife asked what I did for this weekend, do I tell her or just tell her I had an awesome time.
